Week 12.

WEEK 12

For the time being, it would seem that you're back on the routes again.

Route 202 is thankfully a simple one - it's straightforward as compared to the winding paths of Eterna Forest, with a clearly marked path surrounded by trees. The usual patches of tall grass are present here, though they can be avoided if you really want to stay clear of them; it's a fair easier walk than most of the routes you've traversed so far, and mercifully it's also a far shorter one. It seems August is being kind to you in that way; there's decidedly less walking required of you, which is likely not all that unwelcome after the frozen hellscape that constituted most of July.

As before, the changes to the world are still present, particularly in your own Pokémon, are still occurring but seem to be slowing down a bit as the month continues on; a worrying trend, perhaps, but they haven't stopped altogether. That said, however, there's a change to the route that you may see from time to time - patches of those bright flowers in varying colors will show up along the routes themselves here and there. Perhaps a sign of gratitude from a friend you've helped out...

By Tuesday morning you'll find yourself in Sandgem Town. It's very small, similar to Floaroma Town in size, and the town itself smells vividly of the saltwater of the ocean; the main points of interest seem to be the research lab and the beach to the south of town proper, though there are a few locals present as well.

Your stay here shouldn't be long; you're actually very close to Lake Verity, and it won't take you long to reach it given how relatively simple and straightforward the routes here are. Thursday morning will see you on Route 201 - it's just as easy a walk as the previous route, if not easier, and if all goes well you should be able to find the lakefront by Friday evening...

CURRENT LOCATION: SANDGEM TOWN
POKEMON AVAILABLE: WITHIN CITIES / NEAR WATER

SUNDAY | MONDAY | TUESDAY | WEDNESDAY | THURSDAY

Our recorded history only goes back about two thousand years, so if such things existed before then I wouldn't know. However, our most ancient creatures are giant reptiles--the jabberwock and adamantoise, I've never heard of a tyrannosaur.

Our humans pieced a lot of it together from fossil records. Though birds are basically just the surviving descendants of dinosaurs, so you know what those are like.

[the rest of that, though......what the fuck my dude]

Do the jabberwocks whiff frequently, through the tulgey wood?

Do they...what? Those aren't words that you just said, Michael.

...Have you hit your head recently?
eudaimonikos: (as many times)

[He chuckles.] We make our bodies more durable than that.

It's an Earth poem - The Jabberwock. That's where the idea of a jabberwocky comes from at all, there, some nonsense rhyming people like. Do you have bandersnatches, too?

How did-...yes, actually. They’re bipedal creatures, and while a bit difficult to handle are nowhere near the jabberwock in ferocity.

Oh my god. How about jub-jub birds?
